Old Saybrook, CT --(AmmoLand.com)- Traditions Performance Firearms, known for their extremely accurate and dependable muzzleloaders, introduces the new Vortek. Adding to their innovative line of break open muzzleloaders, Traditions raises the bar with even greater features for 2009.

The heart and soul to the Vortek is a newly designed break open action, alloy frame with a “drop-out” trigger assembly designed for easy cleaning. The ergonomics of the over-molded buttstock and forearm provide extra grip and greater balance when pushing the limits for a successful hunt. With safety in mind, Traditions has skeletonized the action release, allowing the use of standard trigger locks for storage or travel. The Accelerator breech plug has found its way into the long list of features that accompany one of the most innovative muzzleloaders ever engineered by Traditions. The Accelerator Breech Plug releases with three quick revolutions using no tools. Simply twist the Accelerator Breech Plug and loosen until it is removed from the barrel for easy cleaning.

The Vortek is a high performance muzzleloader that comes with a 28”, 1:28 twist barrel and Williams metal sights. The weather-resistant finish on the frame and barrel help increase the durability and protect the finish during those extreme days in the field. The 209 ignition and 150 grain magnum loads proves reliable and consistent groups out to 200 yards. The PAS (Projectile Alignment System) guarantees reliable bullet seating for increased accuracy and no bullet starter is needed!

The Vortek is available in a standard or ambidextrous thumbhole stock in an overmolded black or Mossy Oak® Treestand® soft stock finish for a better grip in inclement weather. Sure to be a favorite amongst the muzzleloading crowd, this new smokepole comes with features and a price that is sure to fit into your budget!
